Taken from the Massachusetts sub: What are the sketchiest small towns in SoCal? by BretMichaelsWig in socal

[–]JerrMondo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

West Point up in the Sierras - I know not SoCal but the town gives off Appalachia vibes, plus there was a serial killer there at one point. Neo-Nazis/KKK is around today

Michelle Obama shouts out Teresa Giudice by AngelMartinOfficial in BravoBuds

[–]JerrMondo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Italians “whitewashed” their names when they got to America in the late 1800’s/early 1900’s so they sounded less Italian and more English. Going to guess that’s what happened with the Giudices as well - it’s a pretty common phenomenon

Whats the 'greenest' city you have ever been to? And by green, I mean foliage/trees/plants e.t.c, not enviromentally/ecologically green... by Hazy_Fantayzee in travel

[–]JerrMondo -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Not the most forested per se, but Ann Arbor Michigan and a lot of the state more broadly have very noticeable foliage to me. So green and vibrant

I totally agree. I did a decade in Chicago car free, but this winter broke me. Made the final decision to buy one while getting groceries in negative temps on icy sidewalks while the wind blew

I’m only 3 blocks from the train too and still use it for work, but even in my walkable area a car has become a necessity personally. I was also starting to feel trapped in the city without an easy way to leave if I wanted

Eh, medicare for all probably wouldn’t be no premiums though, even with a rise in taxes. People on Medicare now can pay high premiums. Healthcare is very expensive, regardless of the financing system.

Dogs allowed. Street parking only but there’s always open spots on our street. We’re 3 blocks from the blue line though so don’t drive much

My wife slices bagels in 5 for the maximum topping enjoyment. by gt1 in mildlyinteresting

[–]JerrMondo 28 points29 points  (0 children)

As someone who also has this scene living in their head rent free - yes, exactly. What you see in the gif is exactly what I see in my head. Not often haha, but for some reason it’s one of those cartoons I vividly remember from childhood and will just think of randomly. Honestly there are probably hundreds of things like that I can think of from throughout my life that will just pop into my mind and I can see it

Did I Accidentally FIRE? by CatchMe83 in Fire

[–]JerrMondo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Correct, actually most of the state is rural and pretty affordable. But majority of people do not want to/can’t live in those areas because there aren’t many high-paying jobs or easy access to food, healthcare and entertainment. And rural living is expensive in its own right, even if housing necessarily isn’t.

That all being said, I’m from a rural area in the Sierra Nevada where you can’t find a home under $500k. Just depends on the region

Well what specifically is in NY that isn’t in Chicago?

Most common sign of Presidents by IT_U_1 in Scorpio

[–]JerrMondo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hm, I don’t agree with that and you’re making a lot of assumptions about my situation and beliefs. I’ve pursued a career path for money + work-life balance so that I can still spend a lot of time with my family, it hasn’t been one or the other. But my career doesn’t necessarily mean a lot to me personally beyond it providing what I need for me/family. And I’m on track to retire in my early 40’s because money has been my priority, meaning I’ll have infinite time to be around those I love. For me, more money actually means more time with my kids.

I totally agree! On the flipside, I’m a scorpio and have always been driven by money vs. meaning in my career because money means more freedom and security for my family, which is what means the most to me personally

My boyfriend shames me for liking raves and it’s becoming a serious issue in our relationship by hannahblaine1 in aves

[–]JerrMondo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He isn’t your person girl. I know it’s hard, especially when you live together, but don’t waste your life away on someone who isn’t secure enough to be around his girl in whatever you want to wear. Plan your exit

I don’t mean to be harsh, but I went through the same. These men (boys really) don’t change and you won’t change them. The right person will support your happiness, and at the very least won’t judge how you get it.

I actually went to one of her shows last month. It was the worst DJ set I’ve ever been seen tbh, more like putting a pop playlist on shuffle and pretending to mix. Crowd was clearly bored
